The mechanism described is, for example, a vehicle seat belt and the mechanism minimises or prevents unwanted activation of line extension or re- traction of the seat belt. A first mechanism is de- scribed where activation occurs between at least one primary system and at least one secondary system when a combination of the sensed motion character- istics achieves a threshold. A second mechanism is described where activation occurs between at least one primary system and at least one secondary sys- tem when at least one sensed motion characteristic achieves a threshold, the threshold being modified based on at least one further motion characteristic. A method of use of the above mechanisms is also described.
